When and why did you start training for fighting? I had just finished my last season of college football and was looking to stay active and compete. My buddy asked if I wanted to try BJJ, and after my first day, Ben Rothwell approached me and said, “Your’re coming to the fight team.” I instantly fell in love with the sport. Shortly after turning professional I quit my job as a sixth grade teacher and began training full-time.

Do you have any heroes? The better version of myself, something I am always striving to be.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? The beginning of a dream come true.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I have a bachelor’s degree with a major in social sciences and a double minor in geography and secondary education.

What was your job before you started fighting? Sixth grade social studies teacher
